DAYTONA BEACH -- A 17-year-old student from Seabreeze High School and a clerical worker at the school had sex more than 100 times in the last year, a police report says, and most of the acts occurred at the school during lunch, the girl told police investigators.

Michael Jones was arrested on Tuesday night by Ormond Beach police and has been charged with sexual activity of a person 24 years or older with a victim under 18, 24 , records show.

Michael Jones even had sex with the girl at his home while his wife had taken one of his children to the hospital, Ormond Beach police said in an arrest report. The girl, whose name is not being published because of the nature of the allegations, had been baby-sitting for Jones and his wife, the arrest report says.

When police questioned him about that incident and whether it occurred, Jones responded with, “Not really, it was real quick,” the arrest report shows.

The 32-year-old Jones was arrested Tuesday night by Ormond Beach detectives and has been charged with sexual activity by a person 24 years or older with a victim under 18, records show. The arrest report released Wednesday morning describes how Jones and the girl became involved with each other when the girl was 16 and a junior at the school.

Jones first noticed the girl when she was a sophomore, sending her a text message containing a sexual reference regarding the blouse she had on one day at school, the report shows.

The relationship between the two came to light Friday after two employees from Simplex Grinnell Protection Systems arrived at the high school to inspect the fire extinguishers, a Volusia County sheriff's incident report shows.

The inspectors caught Jones and the girl in the fire pump room. But not before Jones called out from the locked room and told the inspectors that he was sleeping.

The fire inspectors did not see the pair having sex, but did hear sounds coming from the room as if someone was getting dressed, the incident report says. When Jones opened the door, the girl bolted from the room, the incident report shows.

After one of the inspectors reported the incident to Principal Bob Wallace, they returned to start their inspections, the report shows. At that point they found the girl in another room, crouching in the dark. That's when the girl was taken to Wallace's office and the relationship was later revealed to the girl's parents and to Ormond Beach detectives.

When investigators spoke to the girl, they learned that she and Jones had been involved in a sexual relationship since last year when she was 16, the arrest report states. She told them that she and Jones had engaged in sex at least 100 times since they met and most of the activity had occurred on Seabreeze's campus during lunch.

The encounters did not stop during the summer either, according to the arrest report.

The girl said she would park her car at the Planet Fitness in Ormond Beach, jump the fence and meet Jones at the school campus nearby. The teenager told police she and Jones also had sex in a closet inside one of the teacher's classrooms, the report said.

Jones lives only a block from the school where Seabreeze's campus is in view of the front porch.

One of the sexual encounters also occurred at the girl's home one day in early September when her parents and younger brother were gone for the weekend, court records show. The teenager told detectives that the last time she and Jones had sex was on Oct. 9.

When detectives heard the girl's story about her relationship with Jones, they asked her to participate in two controlled telephone calls with him, the arrest report says.

In the final controlled call, the girl asked Jones, “Are you going to get in trouble if they find out we had sex?” and he replied, “Yes, I'm going to go to jail, probably for a long time, especially if they make you testify against me,” according to the arrest report.

Jones was released Wednesday from the Volusia County Branch Jail on $75,000 bail.

Volusia Schools spokeswoman Nancy Wait said Jones, a 1998 graduate of Seabreeze, has worked with the school for the last seven years. Wait said Jones did clerical duties in the office, but he also was a technician of sorts in the auditorium.

Wait said Jones had not had any disciplinary issues while employed at Seabreeze, but she did say Wallace had told Jones that he was overly friendly with students and that he needed to act more like a role model.
